India applauds environmentally-friendly monkey

A monkey in India has astounded the internet with its environmental consciousness. The temple monkey was caught on camera drinking from a street tap on a hot day in Vrindavan, northern India.

Taking a sip of water, the parched monkey carefully turns the tap to stop the water flow before walking away. The video has gone viral, with viewers applauding the monkey for its environmentally-friendly and water-conscious antics.
